just has a discussion with a web developer didn't go well
we have to make a site. server side and client side has to be implemented it has realtime data also

Now his solution was aws + Python script for sever and a client web app that will show the data

i suggested firbase for server and client web app , cause it will be cheaper for us

he said that its more work for him to do firebase and application cost will be high
i am my self a developer ( worked on Android , web , but mostly microcontroller and hardware)
i don't understand cause from what
i see firebase is straightforward
am i wrong ?
